Chalices are handleless drinking vessels with a tall body with concave walls, and a low foot on a disc base. They are found in clay and various types of stone in the Neopalatial period (1600-1400 BC), often in excavation contexts indicating that they were used as ritual vessels. They are depicted in the miniature “Camp-Stool Fresco” depicting banqueting scenes, which probably adorned a room on the second floor of the West Wing of the palace of Knossos.
